So what do you think? Maybe you'd be interested in my comparison to the Echo Dot 4: ruclips.net/video/DmQ9Zhvhj5U/видео.html Let's connect on Instagram! instagram.com/mikeobrienn
I think this will be a tough sell now HomePod mini is being released soon at the same price. I have a first generation Echo, but the speaker quality isn’t great, and it’s developed a muffling noise when playing music which is really annoying. I also use Apple Music which doesn’t exactly have the best Echo support. I think the Echo dot is a better buy for most people.
Hey, something that might interest you. A couple of days ago my Amazon account was closed with no warning for after hours of wasted time they're telling me it's for excessive returns which I think is an error but that's beside the point. When they closed my Amazon account all my Amazon devices that I own for years primarily all my Echo devices stopped working. I lost access to the Amazon Photos and Prime Video which I pay for. So apparently the devices you already own are subject to be disabled by Amazon on your perceived shopping habits! I assume the same applies to all other Amazon devices and services like fire OS tablets, Ring cameras, and probably AWS as well. Just wanted to make other people aware of this because they definitely don't tell you this when you buy your hardware and services.
It's made quite clear that these devices are linked to your Amazon account: therefore if you no longer have an Amazon Account, well I leave you to draw your own conclusions.
such a shame that its wings are clipped in other regions outside of the us. in my region so many functions are not enabled yet. so it's really an elevated speaker of sort and nothing more.
While you can't remap the action button, you can press it to snooze alarms. The Dot also supports tap to snooze with tapping the speaker with more than one finger, so I assume it goes for the larger one as well. Hopefully they add more action button functionality through a software update!
Everytime I go to the setup and it gets to the wifi part it says that I need to go to the AMAZON wifi but then I connect it and it says that it has no internet access
1 - It doesn't work as external speaker via 3,5mm aux. It's OUT only! 2 - It does NOT streams free amazon music in most countries outside US, even if you are a Prime member. 3 - You need another device ALWAYS ON (phone/tablet/pc) to play other stream services like RUclips music, TuneIn, etc. The same happens if you want to play your mp3 collection (forget playing from NAS via wifi or ethernet). 4 - In this case it would be preferable to connect your device directly to decent speakers because the sound of this thing is AWFUL. If you have an amplifier, reciever or active speakers with RCA input, just get a cable. 5 - Your data needs go through the cloud for the smart assistant to work. If wi-fi failures for some reason, say good bye to the smart home and probably will need reconfiguration. There are alternatives not dependent on the cloud or wifi.
I have been using conjunctions with all the versions of the echo in my house by saying "&" after each request. E.g. Alexa, turn off the light & turn on the fan & play soft music & turn on the yard lights. Why would they Change it for this model? Is it a limitation of the new chip?
@@MikeOBrienMedia I say it as if it's one sentence. If you pause too long, it thinks your commanded has ended. And you can't say "TURN OFF the kitchen light & bedroom light." The correct way is "TURN OFF the kitchen light & TURN OFF the bedroom light"
Hi Mike, Can you suggest which one of the Echo 4th Gen & the Nest Audio is better in terms of audio quality? Both are priced exactly same & its quite confusing which one to go for. Any help will be appreciated. Cheers!
Is this version of Alexa eligible to be used with the battery base the reason I'm asking is cuz I want to be able to take my echo wherever I want say I wouldn't take it to the park and play it I was only 30 minutes asking an Amazon representative who isn't any smarter than a five-year-old I had to ask him literally 10 times the same question is a Amazon Echo 4th generation with premium sound smart home hub Echo Alexa work and that's what I was told worked by the representative I spoke to before this guy the only difference in what it said on eBay while I was going to order this Alexa from it said everything that's the guy told me except charcoal the color of it so I want to get the battery base Amazon 4th generation Echo but not the plane 4th generation Echo but like I was told it has to be the echo 4th generation with premium sound smart home hub Alexa Echo can somebody anybody respond to me and help me as quickly as possible cuz I really want to order this thing bad I've already had the return one already so I'm on my own trying to be sure I'm ordering the correct Alexa that will be compatible with the battery base the Amazon battery base? And again the one that I want to order because it's on auction is Echo 4th generation with premium sound smart home hub Alexa that's the specific one that I'm trying to get but I only went to get it if it's the correct one that works with the Amazon battery base?

Great review! Also, you should do an Apple HomePod and HomePod Mini review and comparison. Thanks for the great content!
i realize it's kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good place to stream new series online?
@Deacon Eric Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
@Deacon Eric Lately I have been using flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
you know it's great when it's SPHERICAL
Spherical!
I was considering this one for my living room and it looks like it's a good option, thanks for the video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the detailed video, I just bought one for my dad for Christmas. I'm probably going to hear him talk to it all day lol
How has been his user experience
Nice review! One of the drawbacks that I've found is the charger brick, it's horrible and takes a lot of space!!
I like the redesign. A bit futurist and that
I love the spherical design of the Amazon 4th gen echo devices and mediatek does great for the performance
AMAZING VIDEO REALLY HELPFUL!!
CONTINUE THE GREAT WORK!!!! ALL UR VIDEOS ARE VERY DETAILED AND NICE❤️
I’ve watched a handful of reviews on this product and this review is by far the most and best detailed on im going to purchase now thanks
I can't help but it reminds me so much of the late Nexus Q :')
Your reviews are delightful to watch. 👌🏼
Very Useful info for uk market too ... I just purchased 2 , many thanks !
I think this will be a tough sell now HomePod mini is being released soon at the same price.

positive overview The charger brick is one flaw I've noticed; it's awful and takes up a lot of room.
As I considered purchasing the Echo, your video by far was the most informative and helpful. Thanks!
This is how you review a product. Thanks for not saying Alexa. Excellent job thanks!!!!!
Years ago I had one of the round Panasonic radios with the chain on it - Great review 👍
I'm so excited I just bought mine yesterday
For the alarm you just tap the top to snooze... No button hitting
Can you use this as a replacement for sound bar on a TCL tv? Looks pretty awesome
Echo 4th Gen or Google Nest Audio ???
Did you that if you mute it,also litgth up the button red
Will the Echo 4th Gen support TuneIn Radio and iHeart Radio? I currently have the Echo Dot 2nd Gen and it supports those.
There is no Amazon Echo Mini, did you mean the echo dot, or the Apple Homepod Mini?
Oops, I definitely meant Echo Dot. I will be releasing a video with the echo dots soon!
Thanks for the review Mike.
Thanks for watching, Ron!
I love my ECHO!!!
I have first generation echo. Should I buy echo dot or echo 4th generation?
Releasing a video to answer that question very soon! (later today or tomorrow)
@@MikeOBrienMedia I have echo first generation and if I buy this. Can we connect both for stereo sound effect?
Wow surprised this wasn't covered in the video and that I have to go to the comments for an answer. Can it play "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias?
Yes! Just tried it. As long as you have an Amazon Music, Apple Music or Spotify account connected to it!

I love the new look.!!!
Did you say ‘sound qualityness’ ??
Hey Mike! Luv your videos! I preordered the new Echo Dot Mini Sphere with the clock. Have you done a video on it yet? Thank Joe

It is touch sensitive to snooze alarms etc..
Everytime I go to the setup and it gets to the wifi part it says that I need to go to the AMAZON wifi but then I connect it and it says that it has no internet access
1 - It doesn't work as external speaker via 3,5mm aux. It's OUT only!

I think you can by a wall bracket
I have Echo Plus(2nd Gen) got at much better price, is this really worth to upgrade?
Yes! It is ,the speaker of the echo 4 is great! I have 1
I have been using conjunctions with all the versions of the echo in my house by saying "&" after each request. E.g. Alexa, turn off the light & turn on the fan & play soft music & turn on the yard lights. Why would they Change it for this model? Is it a limitation of the new chip?
Perhaps there is a setting limiting mine. I will dig deeper and try again
@@MikeOBrienMedia I say it as if it's one sentence. If you pause too long, it thinks your commanded has ended. And you can't say "TURN OFF the kitchen light & bedroom light." The correct way is "TURN OFF the kitchen light & TURN OFF the bedroom light"
Well explained
Does it sound better than Apple Pod Mini?
Yes
Ur videos are really great. +1 sub😁
Glad you like them! Thank you for subscribing!
@@MikeOBrienMedia you always travel that extra step for ur reviews. I hope u find success in whatever u aim for😃
What was the song name?
Can you listen to RUclips music as well?
You gain a new sub :)
Hi Mike,
Can you suggest which one of the Echo 4th Gen & the Nest Audio is better in terms of audio quality?
Both are priced exactly same & its quite confusing which one to go for.
Any help will be appreciated.
Cheers!
I've seen a comparison and the echo 4th Gen sounds better!
+ 1 from France
only the real ones know that the game sphere is the most sophisticated gaming experience in the entire world
i cant wait to hear apples version
no too
It was done 2 years ago with the HomePod

:this is Tihami: I have a alexa
When you see Alex it atill turned on
It’s all fun and games until it turns into an eight ball
I like more the cylindrical design. This one looks like an 8 ball on steroids.
Alex 😂
It looks like it breaks easier
Are these adverts scripted, every review is exactly the same, get a slot on QVC
Why would anyone want to have a potential spying device in their house?
